NECKSCARF-FASTEN ER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 410,732, dated September10, 1889.

Application filed November 8, 1888, Serial No. 290,316. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ELIAs J. FEIEDLAND, of the city, county, and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNeckscarf-Fasteners, of Which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a scarf-fastener for supporting the scarf inconnection with a turned-down collar.

The object of the invention is to provide a scarf-fastenerof thischaracter which may be detached from the scarf, so that the latter maybe used with a standing collar by the application of means for thatpurpose.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a rear elevation of aneckscarf provided with this improved fastener. Fig. 2 is an enlargedview of this improved neckscarffastener detached from the head of thescarf. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section of a neckscarf providedwith said fastener.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in thedifferent figures.

This improved neckscarf-fastener is designed for use in connection witha scarf-head A, having two pocket-openings cm at its up per cornersinstead of one such opening, as is usual in scarflheads as ordinarilyconstructed.

The scarf-fastener is composed of a flat center piece, 0 of stiffcard-board or similar material, provided with an eyeleted opening 6 inits lower part,two curved arms or fingers C, also of card-board, sheetmetal, or other similar material, hinged to said center piece at itsupper part, and a cord-loop D passed through said eyelet, each end ofthe cord being connected to one of said arms. The cord of the loop ispreferably elastic. A metallic loop D for engaging the collar-button ispreferably connected to the lower end of the cord-loop.

In the use of this fastener the fingers O are pushed upward through thepockets a a of the head A and project laterally from. the upper cornersthereof, as shown in Fig. 1. The scarf is then adjusted to the neck, thefingers C being pushed under the turned down flaps of the collar, andthe looped end of the cord D or the metallic loop D is adjusted over thecollar-button.

I claim as my invention- 1. A detachable fastener for a necksoarf,consisting of a flat center piece provided with an eyeleted opening inits lower part, arms pivoted to said center piece at its upper part, anda looped elastic cord passed through said eyeleted opening and havingits ends con- 11 ected to said arms, substantially as described.

2. A detachable fastener for a neckscarf, consisting of a flat centerpiece provided With an eyeletcd opening in its lower part, arms pivotedto said center piece at its upper part, a looped elastic cord passedthrough said eyeleted opening and having its ends connected to saidarms, and a metallic collar-button loop at the end of. said looped cord,substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
